What is your favorite type of art to create?

I love to create many types of art, but my most favorite has been the resin ripple art. I call it "bending mirrors". The ripples are created by hand at a certain stage of curing and then I create the droplets with a UV resin by hand and under a UV light; never creating the same droplet twice. Each one is unique like we are as people. Each ripple represents our lasting affect we send out, good or bad. It's reflective art in more than one way. Each piece created with intention and passion.

Where do you find inspiration?

Nature, of course and also in my own healing journey. I see how our actions create movement much like the water ripples. A pebble thrown in the water, ripples out the same way our actions and words can send ripples out in to the universe, affecting the stillness. Some are calm, some move more and extend farther.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would invest further in my art business but also use the money for my family. My daughter is dealing with health issues we don't yet know the cause and are awaiting a visit to UVA medical center in July. We hope to find answers there but this money would sustain us financially for a bit to allow me to continue to be home with her full time. She is ok and managed well but daughters need their mothers. This would allow me to keep pushing for not only her but for myself also to keep building.
